So I felt indulgent and satisfied, but I knew it was coming, so I had been well behaved all day, so I was only over my calorie limit about 200 calories. And I had looked forward to it all day so I was really excited about it. I dunno, it works for me. Plus, I've read (some conflicting info, to be sure) that keeping your body guessing about food kind of helps you not plateau. I'm not sure how much I believe that, but I seem to find that if I go a long time without a certain kind of carb-- like simple carbs, white breads and pasta-- then I have some for a meal, that I'll have a big drop in weight in the next week. It might be placebo, it might be coincidence, it might be the resulting over compensation for guilt over the "sinful" choice in food-- who knows. I just know that, for me, if I get to have something I consider a naughty food every now and again that I feel less deprived over all, but it's really hard to come back from the ledge, too.
